I don’t like Katie’s haircut. There, I said it. I feel better.
James and Ally are hosting a pool party. I picture all of these prima donna assholes bitching about the airplanes.
I can barely stomach scenes at Tom and Ariana’s. And that fucking massive painting of the two of them, why not take it down? They always even zoom in on it. Yes, Bravo we see it. And it’s right outside Ariana’s room, so she has to literally walk past it every fucking day, several times.
I’m assuming Bravo wants it there for effect.
So the Lyft driver from last year when Ariana saw Tom’s phone, clearly doesn’t watch VPR. The fact that this dude still had NO clue, four months later (you’d think he would have mentioned it to someone that knew) who they were, is pretty funny.
I thought everyone watched Bravo?? The poor guy. Even if you don’t watch the show, this shit was out there, and all over the place. And he even lives in the area. Are there caves in LA?
Had he known, who they were, and this scandal being as sensational as the George Floyd and Nicole Simpson murders, (I’m being sarcastic) I feel like he could’ve made a couple bucks.
I’m a little shocked that Ariana and Katie actually pass on this trip. Let’s call it pleasantly surprised. It really would make them look kind of idiotic for these two sourpusses to take this trip with both of their ex’s, one being the host, whom they claim to NOT want to be around. But since when do these people care about looking idiotic? I was positive they were going to go and we’d be stuck looking at their constipated faces.

BlaBla and Scheana drop in Villa Rosa where LVP is on her relentless campaign to persuade them to take it easy on Sandoval, as he’s “in a really dark place” as she casually arranges her roses in her vase.
Scheana’s immediately annoyed. She really does love this story of sending him her sympathy text when his friend passed away, and how he promptly blocked her, since he was pouting over her podcast content. I can kind of see where he was coming from though. It came off as disingenuous.
She tells Lisa that she has seen nothing that depicts depression. Agreed.
Being arrogant and projecting – check. And the Sandoval version that spoke to Lisa at Pump, and the Sandoval that spoke to Scheana beind SUR WERE two different people.
These girls probably could have put a shirt on to be here for ten minutes.
And BlaBla you are a narc. Your argument where Tom called you a narcissist to Scheana, is not a good example of your anger towards him about what he did to Ariana.
In fact, she’s making it about her, and proving his point. And she can’t stop there. She continues to prove him right and begins talking about, what else, LaLa.
No one is buying this ‘rebranding’ that she’s trying to do this season. At least I hope you’re not. God help you if you are. Maybe I just have too much experience with lying phony ass people to fall for this shit from this stupid little ho.
And the fact that she has narcissistic, entitled traits, has NOTHING to do with Randall duping her. Not sure why she goes into that diatribe for no reason whatsoever. Well, I guess I do know, to get sympathy. She’s still stewing how Scandoval stole her ‘woe is me’ storyline last season, pretty sure.
Also she’s such a fucking hypocrite to be dragging Sandoval. She knew full goddamned well stupid Randall was married when she was banging him and he was buying her expensive designer shit, and oh, a Range Rover! All the while she was bragging about being a whore and ‘kept’ while on the show!
Does she think viewers forget this? And she wants us to buy that she was really in love with this dude?
She WAS a fucking mistress. And just like Ariana and Tom, shocker, now they’re cheating on YOU! Whooda thunk? When your relationship begins riddled in lies and deceit, with a known CHEATER, what in the hell do you expect?
Lisa claims to KNOW that he’s depressed. You know on Raquel’s podcast, she’s sharing that during this period he was calling her ‘selfish’ constantly for being in her facility, and not calling him every fucking five minutes. That’s not someone that’s depressed. That’s someone that’s an entitled spoiled asshole.
Lisa goes hard at this, and compares Sandoval to her brother. Again, as I said in my little blurb article, she has an agenda. Keeping him on the show, keeping people coming to her restaurants. And she also always has had a little infatuation with the guys on the show. Let’s be honest.
“Tom Sandoval is not the kind of person to say he has suicidal thoughts unless he means it.”
Oh Pahlease Lisa!! Did she seriously put that sentence out into the universe??
Sandoval is totally someone that will say what the fuck ever that will service his needs in that moment. Reminds me of someone. Lisa, you are embarrassing yourself in the interest of making money. Doesn’t look like she needs it this bad.
Sheana questions if it’s ‘worth losing Ariana’ as a friend should she make up with Tom. But hey, they’re not too mad to still go on a free vacay, where Sandoval will be present.

Pool partay! Ally is annoyed that Schwartz keeps bringing plants. Girl, you’re in Southern Cali. You can just throw them out on the patio, and leave them there, YEAR AROUND. Which makes me insanely jelly.
I guess watering them is too difficult for her. She’s so busy with her astrology and all.
Well the pool party is going ‘swimmingly.’ No one is killing anyone, so we’re doing good. James is loving jumping off of that rooftop.
Meanwhile, very annoying Billie Lee and Sandoval scene doing a cold plunge. He thinks this will help his fake depression.
Could he be more dramatic about this?
As BlaBla is inside commending James for taking the sober path again, he’s out pouring this fucking weed juice down his throat. Literally.
Can’t make this shit up. This is exactly how he used to drink Fireball, if you recall.
Blabla is working hard at her relaunch of her entire persona, and delivers an apology to Schwartz after she makes it seem like a big fucking complicated endeavor for him to simply lift her floatie up. BlaBla is not the smartest.
She again blames her shit personality and overall bitchiness on her experience with Randall. Which is weird because she’s always acted this way. I think she had a season where she blamed her father’s death on why she was terrorizing people.
Always a reason that makes sense to BlaBla. Always an excuse. It’s part of the disorder. Someone is always wronging YOU, right? YOU are always the victim.
Do you all remember how she treated Raquel immediately when she was part of the show and with James? It was absolutely horrible the way she bullied her around. It was hard to watch.
Before she met Randall she acted like a fucking cunt. Also while she was secretly dating Randall, she acted like a fucking cunt, also, when she was out in the open with Randall she acted like a fucking cunt, and after they split up she acted like a fucking cunt. Give us a break woman.
Drunk or sober, post or pre-Randall, she’s an asshole that enjoys bringing people down to make herself feel better.
They commiserate over Ariana and her “diva energy as opposed to someone who’s been hurt.” Schwartz delivers that line, which is sort of accurate.
These mutual apologies and sudden admiration for each other, is nauseating. Schwartz I believe is being genuine. BlaBla not so much.
******
Back to Sandy and the cold plunge, Billie Lee seems to be really stroking his ego.
Also nauseating. Gee, wonder why she’s doing that. You all know that she wants in there again. God only knows why.
“Are you thinking about dating?” She asks, ever so non-chalantly.
He misses Raquel, he claims. He whines she hasn’t called him in three weeks. Billie Lee seems SO heartbroken to hear that.
This is what I heard on Raquel’s podcast excerpt, that he kept bitching at her for remaining in the facility, so she just said “fuck this asshole” and cut him off.
“What we had was definitely (gulp) – love (he always pauses before he says ‘love’ when referring to her) that’s why I was so addicted to it.”
Asshole if it was actual ‘love’ you wouldn’t have been ‘addicted.’
What a fucking dumb ass. If you’re merely just addicted to boning someone, that’s not fucking love. He says in his yap that he’s saving himself for Raquel. She probably vomited when she watched that.
This dude is so fucking dumb. She literally checked herself into a fucking mental institution to get away from him, and recover from that fucking affair, and he SERIOUSLY thinks that she’s coming back to him?? He thinks this.
Billie Lee seems annoyed that he keeps rambling about Raquel.
******
Back to the pool- Scheana tells Ariana and Katie about their discussion with Lisa. Ariana of course, has no sympathy for that putz, and calls bullshit on his ‘thoughts of suicide’ story. And she points out that he created the situation, his story is constantly changing, and it all seems manipulative.
Yes. I see that. Not what Scheana wanted to hear.
******
James comes by BlaBla’s and you know, she’s going to drill him as to why he stopped drinking again.
I don’t get the reason for this, other than being nosy. Does it really matter? Isn’t the important part that he stopped?
I still struggle with BlaBla having a child. We don’t see any interaction, so maybe that’s why, and because she’s BlaBla, and she’s awful. Randall isn’t allowing Ocean to be filmed, just to be a fucking pain in the ass, but that may not necessarily be a bad thing.
I just think back to when Ocean was an infant, when she was still with Randall, and how she kept handing her off to ‘the nanny.’ When she was holding her, it was as if she was some sort of prop, or accessory.
It’s funny though, when James delves into what lead him to another sober journey, it’s pretty much the exact same scenario as when he was with Raquel.
In the first episode he reassured everyone that Ally had nothing to do with it, and it was all his idea.
Yeah, not so much. Apparently she got pissed about his drunken rampages, left and stayed with a friend for two days, and threatened to dump him, just as Raquel did.
He blames the Tom and Raquel situation on getting out of control again. I’m sure that did piss off Ally, I’ve been saying that. He’s calling his sobriety ‘forever thing’ this time and seems to me like he means it.
******
Why do we care about Schwartz and this Jo chick? Whether or no they were dating, living together or banging?
Why does he feel the need to defend and “clear things up” as he puts it, that she wasn’t his girlfriend, last year AFTER HE WAS SEPARATED from Katie, when he was allowed to bang or live with, or do whatever with, whomever the hell wanted!!! He’s doing prayer hands and everything, as if he has to fucking explain himself!
At what fucking point will he stop feeling the need to be Katie Baloney’s fucking bitch?? MY GOD. Schwartz, we want you with Jo. We want you with anyone that has a pulse, and isn’t Baloney. Fuck. MAN UP!
Enter Sandoval to shake up the hair cutting scene. Jo loves his shirt?? Looks like something Elmo would wear. She must really want to be a regular on the show.
So this is the very official and very serious invite to Tahoe. Cool.
Jo looks like she’s waiting on her invite. It doesn’t come
Schwartz encourages him to be humble on the trip and maybe have a talk with BlaBla.
He sarcastically says yes, sure, he’ll apologize for all of the content he gave her for her stupid podcast, and the merch that she sold, all due to his fucking up. Dude has a point. Whether you hate him a lot or a little, you have to admit it.
And I have to again wonder why that didn’t annoy Ariana. I guess because she also was cashing in?
But for her friends to be running around, exacerbating the situation, and making money by their non-stop gossiping on air, of her boyfriend’s tawdry affair, and she is completely unbothered? For me, it shows, and not to echo Schwartz, she wasn’t so much ‘hurt’ by his cheating, but more like pissed off about it.
Also not really unlike BlaBla and Randall’s break-up. The difference being BlaBla was using Randall, and never loved him in a normal way anyway. I don’t think she’s even capable of loving in a normal way. Like someone else that I know.
However, Ariana DID love Sandoval at one point, but had completely checked out of the relationship.
They play a blurb of BlaBla saying Sandoval always gave her “a narcissistic vibe.” Oh for crissakes BlaBla! Please watch the show.
Pot calling the kettle fucking black.
Schwartz encourages him to try to leave the negative energy at the door on the trip. I can’t see that happening. He seriously thinks BlaBla was being genuine at James’ pool party and doesn’t have any ulterior motives.
******
Summer seems more than ready to ditch Scheana, as they live for their dinner plans with James and Ally. She’ like “Mom who? smell ya later…”
Even Summer Moon thinks she’s annoying.
Scheana and Brock seem off. If I had to guess I would say she’s looking at him as kind of a moocher, a lot like Shay, and that’s causing tension. Remember she gave him money for that fitness app that was an epic fail.
She claimed on her podcast, or someones fucking podcast, maybe Jeff Lewis, that I heard a blurb of, that he is producing a show, or some fucking shit? I forget exactly what she said, but someone was asking about her taking his name off of the house, and what he actually ‘does’ for work. It sounded like bullshit.
So he’s in LA living off of his wife, and he has two kids on the other side of the world he doesn’t see, nor support. Got it. And if he is paying child support now, it’s more like Scheana is paying child support. Those bedtime convos can’t be good. He’s soon going to be single again, with three fucking kids he can’t support.
Now Scheana is perpetuating this Sandoval suicide narrative to James and Ally.
Ally seems to be buying it, because what do you say when someone tells you that, but James knows it’s a load of crap. He says that he has a meeting with Lisa the following day.
Who is NOT looking forward to this stupid Tahoe trip?
James drops by Vanderpump Dogs, and we get something different than what we expected, not Lisa fake selling Sandoval’s fake suicide thoughts.
Seems Graham is back in the picture. Most of you have probably been hearing about poor little Mr. Mini Golden Doodle Graham and his plight. He tends to bite. When Raquel went to the facility, there were issues with him finding a home, after her family didn’t want to deal with him.
I have a little something to share on this, that I heard on her podcast blurb.
She was talking about Graham, and shared some disturbing dog ownership traits about James and his treatment of him. Which you could say, she was making up or exaggerating, but I don’ think so. The behaviors she was describing sounded very James to me.
Apparently James tended to taunt him, and kick him off of the couch when he was in a deep sleep, startling and upsetting him.
Also his drunken rages scared him, and he would hide from James. Raquel said she tried to ask him to stop but felt like she was being a nag. Which is sad.
So, while I did also find this scene really heartwarming, as I think we all did, just keep that in mind as Raquel is being depicted as the bad dog mom who abandoned him, when perhaps it was James’ treatment of him that lead to the aggressive behavior.
The family who was fostering him, had to take him to a shelter, due to his biting. I’m feeling like it’s really coincidental that Lisa ended up with him, but let’s roll with it. Also, James wasn’t really pursuing trying to find him, I want to point out. So was he THAT worried about him?
I hope he’s okay with the kitties, but you know, cats tend to hold their own with bitchy dogs trying to be intimidating and throw their weight around. I witnessed that firsthand when I first got my cat, Daisy, who sadly left us in December of 2022.
Our 100 pound dog was barking in her face, while pinning her in a corner, and she sat there and looked at him like she was bored, and he was an idiot.
I had some asswipe sorry excuse for a human, backing me into a corner once and screamed in my face. Interesting. Same behavior as an animal that doesn’t know any better. Fucking thug. What an embarrassment to his family he is.
That’s what you gotta do with bullies I guess, or abusive men. Stand there and laugh at them, so they see what an idiot they look like. Take a page out of a cat’s book. Animals know what the fuck is going on, even if humans don’t.
I think James almost skipped, but stopped himself, as he was walking down the sidewalk leaving with Graham. I wouldn’t have judged him if he skipped.
It’s Graham Cracker!!
Just a quick update, James recently posted a video on social media of Graham (I think they changed his name) sunning in the yard, and seemed as if things were going well.
